First Post

This is a new blog devoted to radio and tech issues of interest to me.

First I note that apparently blogger.com does not work with Opera (8.51). This has forced me to switch over to Internet Explorer to edit these posts.

I'm trying to put together a Myth TV system, with some difficulties. Here's my system:

Shuttle XPC SS31T
LGA 775 P4 3.2 GHz
1.0 GB SDRAM
Maxtor 300 GB HD

My Linux distro of choice was Fedora Core 6. Advice to anyone trying to install Myth TV onto this system: install all the MySQL plugins; it will save you a world of hurt later on. There was one shared library MythTV needs in order to connect to the SQL database (libqsqlmysql.so, if I remember correctly), and the setup program wouldn't work even after I installed the plugin. A true Linux wizard would have been able to figure this one out; as it happened, I simply reinstalled FC6 with the right plugins.

More to come...
